<p>Netopia's Timbuktu Pro Harnesses the Power of Mac OS X</p>
<p>Mac OS X Users Enjoy Collaboration and Remote Control Via Timbuktu Pro</p>
<p>ALAMEDA, Calif. (August 15, 2001) - Netopia, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTPA), a leading<br />
provider of Mac OS-based collaboration and systems management tools, today<br />
announced the availability of Timbuktu Pro for Mac OS X. The new<br />
application enables Mac OS X users to leverage the unsurpassed remote<br />
control capabilities of Timbuktu Pro, and extends Netopia's long tradition<br />
of support for Apple's advanced technologies.</p>
<p>For over twelve years, Timbuktu Pro has been the leading remote control an=<br />
d<br />
file transfer software for the Macintosh operating system. Timbuktu Pro for<br />
OS X integrates several new features including package distribution, added<br />
security, large file support and the complete Aqua interface. The new<br />
release is backwards compatible through two previous versions of Timbuktu<br />
Pro using the basic remote control, communications, and file transfer<br />
functions.</p>
<p>"Timbuktu Pro is ideal for anyone who owns more than one computer, or needs<br />
to collaborate over a local area network, through a modem, or over the<br />
Internet," said Dovid Coplon, Timbuktu Pro product manager. "Timbuktu Pro<br />
has long been one of the 'killer apps' for the Mac OS desktop. For the<br />
large community of Timbuktu Pro for Mac OS users, we are pleased to<br />
announce that a favorite software application is ready for Mac OS X."</p>
<p>The Remote Office - There's No Such Place as Far Away Business users can<br />
access their computer from any location-- home, hotel, or remote office.<br />
Users can teach friends, co-workers, students, or family members how to use<br />
their computer over virtually any type of connection, from the Internet to<br />
a LAN. Timbuktu Pro users can also quickly transfer files and folders<br />
without tying up email; send instant messages or interactive text chat; and<br />
even talk via voice intercom.</p>
<p>Remote Control - No Problem<br />
Timbuktu Pro enables IT professionals and help desk managers to remotely<br />
control and observe a user's computer for easy troubleshooting and rapid<br />
problem resolution. IT professionals can update software, train users on<br />
new applications and operating systems, even remotely configure a system<br />
from the comfort of their chair via the network or remote dial-up<br />
connection.</p>
<p>"Timbuktu Pro is the ideal tool for migration issues that are an integral<br />
part of changing operating systems," said Tim Williams, marketing programs<br />
manager with Netopia. "Timbuktu Pro is the ideal training and support tool<br />
for a smooth migration to Mac OS X."</p>
<p>Timbuktu Pro for OS X Features<br />
In addition to the standard remote control, file exchange and<br />
communications functions, Timbuktu Pro for Mac OS has been updated as<br />
follows:</p>
<p>=B7 Leveraging the new OS X architecture, Timbuktu Pro is distributed<br />
as a package, and can handle files, folders, and packages appropriately<br />
within the Exchange function.<br />
=B7 Timbuktu Pro's new look mirrors the elegant OS X Aqua Interface.<br />
=B7 Multi-gigabyte files can now be exchanged smoothly with Timbuktu Pro.<br />
=B7 Timbuktu Pro can be set to accept incoming connections only when<br />
the application is running, conserving system resources until Timbuktu Pro<br />
is needed.<br />
=B7 OS X tooltips now replace the old balloon help, and the entire help<br />
file is HTML-based, enabling easy navigation and cross-reference.<br />
=B7 Scrambling the guest-to-host stream adds a new layer of security to<br />
Timbuktu Pro sessions.<br />
=B7 A "Features" Preference Panel replaces DropIns for more flexible<br />
management.<br />
=B7 Force Quit can be easily sent to remote OS X machines, avoiding<br />
remote restarts and lost connections.<br />

on the logged in user.</p>
